sumonht1990 , er I don't see much democracy going on. It's all about dictatorships and fighting one another. Hardly peaceful.

Re: Visa Types

As a British passport holder, you automatically get 30 days on arrival. To renew this you can just hop over the border into Oman at Hatta, then come back again.

Re: Moral Behavior In Animals

Many animal speciaes are incredibly intelligent. Dolphins are probably the smartest animals on the planet, with complex social groups, their own dialects depending where they come from etc. Many people really do need to show more respect for the animal kingdom and those that live within it. Sadly I ...

Re: What Happened To Common Courtesy...

I think many people are too wrapped up in their own lives these days to be concerned with others. It's really very sad that people can't be civil to one another on even a basic level. I hate it when people just walk through a door and then drop it behind them.

Re: Want To Visit A Christian Born Again Church In Dubai

If people need to believe in something then that's fine, it's those who ram their ideas and beliefs down others throats, that I disagree with.

Re: Want To Visit A Christian Born Again Church In Dubai

Not evil, but they are 'men' non-the-less. How do you know what they were saying isn't a load of old made up ballony? All it proves to me, is that certain people need something to believe in to get them through their lives - nothing more. But that's my personal opinion.

It can be an awful experience, luckily the majority of the time if you just tell them to go away or threaten to call the police, they disappear pretty quickly.

UAE dress code gains support

This is going pretty mental on twitter. People encouraging others to respect local customs and adhere to modest dress codes. Personally I cannot bear seeing people in malls looking like they just wandered off the beach. I don't want to see it in my home country, let alone here. http://gulfnews.com/n...

Re: Where To Object A Traffic Fine?

Sadly don't bother. They very rarely refund even if it is a mistake. This is a problem that has been going on for sometime now. If you really want to try, then you need to go to the RTA.

Everyone can succomb to obssession/infatutation etc at some point I reckon - anyone that's every been in a long term relationship that ended probably would have.

Re: Special Needs.

It is true that you very rarely see people with special needs out and about in the UAE. The place is hardly made friendly for the disabled.
